A review by bookworm2828
Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame by Mara Wilson

5.0

I loved the themed chapters and how they were each individually threaded together and then the way the whole book culminated.

As someone who suffers from anxiety, many of the things mentioned throughout the book hit close to home, especially the important lesson that it is okay to make mistakes (and the difference between knowing it and accepting it) and that you won't be able to get rid of your anxiety, you can just learn to acknowledge it.

Highly recommend this book even to people who haven't seen Matilda (I barely remember it myself)
